It’s been a while since we last checked in with Detroit Cargo; the makers of leather goods. Luckily, we were able to catch up with the man behind the brand at the Philly Bike Expo to see a selection of what’s currently available.

The Woodward Tool Bag – seen above – maintain its classic look and is backed by a 10 year warranty. It’s made of Latigo leather and graded from 6-7oz thicknesses. Also, it straps to a saddle with 3/4″ straps. The $100 bag comes in 10 colors and with brass or nickel fittings.

Detroit Cargo also has a line of fender straps and hub polishers. The fender straps ($15) come in 3 colors with stainless steel hardware. The hub shiners ($15) have nickel polished steel snaps, 3 color options, and – like all of their leather products – are made with Latigo leather.

Their leather card holder wallets hold about 10 credit/loyalty/I.D cards. Each is complete with a snap belt that keeps the contents from falling out. If you order online you can customize the design with a monogram. The $30 wallet comes in 6 colors and 2 design options, skull or bike. You can also have your logo applied for an additional fee.

Detroit Cargo is not hipster BS. It’s really high quality stuff made by an experienced artisan. I bought a belt and it’s one of those last-you-15-years belts and it fits perfectly as prescribed by Detroit Cargo. The owner is really, truly, a great business person as well as fair human being.

so do they have a 10 year warranty? I see that is scratched out on their packaging. do they not expect to be around in 10 years? i mean i don’t think they will, but i would hope they think so.

Also, the price is too common-man, i mean, hipsters are their market and they dont even have to forego their daily avocado toast or $15 frape-blah-blah to afford one of these. I mean if hipsters dont have to take out additional student loans to pay for these luxuries i dont think they will want them. Cause everyone can afford them. No “bespoke” enough.

I believe all products are backed by a 10 year warranty aside from their high-wear items such as the mud flaps and hub polishers.

Ugh the above comments are so baseless! I have experience with the actual products from Detroit Cargo and am QUITE pleased. I was looking for a venue to express my pleasure with my purchase from Detroit Cargo and found this article with these curmudgeonous and baseless comments. I am wishing to simply write a review of how awesome my Detroit Cargo belt is two years post purchase, as well as comment about how my bike friends are still rockin’ their DC Handlebar bags on randonnuer trips. I assure you the artisan is not up to their neck in avocado toast- nor should that matter. Do these commenters really think makers of local hand made goods are getting ridiculously rich a-la-trump or even corporate monkey style? Wow.
